Life Is - Part 2

Life is a tutor that never ends his speech, Untiring and zealous, Life is a door that opens of its accord, One door leads to another, Life is walking through a meandering alley, Fraught with hills and valleys, Life is pole vaulting over a wall, The longer the pole the higher the push, Life is sailing on a sea, The monsters can't forever be pacified, Life is standing in the middle of a coliseum, So many voices and an enemy approaches, Life is an unseen world, Mystery rules the day, Life is a battlefield, Hope and courage are the weapons. Life is a race, We don’t know how far we can go. August 3, 2022.

I really like the buoyancy of this piece, Thompson, and I especially like the last six lines. But my personal opinion...philosophy, if you will...is that at the end of the "race", I'll be able to look back and see that my life wasn't all that "mysterious", after all. At least, I hope so.

Not a bad philosophy. Life is different things to different people.
